A Must Have Book!, April 16, 2009
Reviewer: Vicki Stafford
I think whether you are a trainer with years of experience or just starting out like I am, you need to read this book. For me, it was one of those really hard to put down books. The information for those of us just starting out was eye opening, invaluable & incredible. Nicole presents the information in a straight forward manner that is simple to understand. Nicole has a gift of writing in such a way that it makes it very easy to retain the information. There are aspects in this book that I would not have thought of in regards to becoming and being a trainer.

Well done Nicole!

Perfect for Beginners, September 25, 2008
Reviewer: Debi Livingston
If you're just getting started in the dog training world, this book is for you. It covers what it's really like to work with people and their dogs, getting your education, advertising, all sorts of tips and sample forms. If you're trying to decide whether dog training is for you, get this book.
 
Unique Source of Info, September 11, 2008
Reviewer: Linda Lelak
There are so many books out there about dog training, yet Nichole Wilde speaks plainly about the business as a whole. She holds nothing back about the pluses and minuses of choosing to operate a dog training business and the practical realities such as finances, location, legalities, while addressing the issues of dealing with different types of dogs and their people. I found this book scary, exhiliarating, informative and it gave me the REAL information I need to decide if and when I want to run my own dog training business.
